Hematuria during the right heart catheterization procedure: Renal perforation as a very rare complication. Issue 2 (24th February 2023) - Jenab, Yaser
Abstract: The occurrence of hematuria during a right heart catheterization can be a sign of renal perforation, a rare but life‐threatening complication that could be developed due to the misdirection of wire into the abdominopelvic venous plexus. We showed this complication could be managed with venoplasty of the common iliac vein. Abstract : Renal perforation is a rare complication during right heart catheterization which is presented with hematuria and back pain. The operator must be careful during wire manipulation, and avoid pushing it if any resistance is felt to avoid complications.
